Forestry Camp Yarn Along

Brian and Maddie gave me this book for Mother's Day when we got home from forestry camp. Its called This Book was a Tree and has lots of ideas and activities to do outside. One of the first projects is to make a junk journal out of an old clothbound book. The second project is making a pinhole camera. I suspect this book will keep both Maddie and me very busy!

While we wee at forestry camp I started working on some socks for myself using Stroll Handpainted fingering yarn from Knitpicks in the make believe colorway. I am using my favorite pattern from Ann Budd's book Getting Started Knitting Socks. It was fun to work on it at camp. A couple of the parents came to see what I was doing and so did some of the kids! One of the girls even told me she had received a set of dpns for Christmas but hadn't been brave enough to try them yet.
